The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released an announcement urging providers to recheck their MIPS eligibility status after discovering and correcting inconsistencies in their final 2019 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligibility data. The statement states:
“If you checked your eligibility following the December 4th listserv announcing final MIPS eligibility, your status may have been affected by the data inconsistencies. We encourage you to use the QPP Participation Status Tool to re-check and confirm your final 2019 MIPS eligibility.
If you haven’t checked your final MIPS eligibility yet, you should do so now to understand your participation requirements for the 2019 performance period. The 2019 MIPS data submission period opens January 2, 2020 at 10 a.m. (ET).”
